Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 is nearly here and its highly anticipated arrival could mark the return of a fan-favorite character. Though numerous personalities had already been introduced throughout the course of the ever-popular battle royale’s life span, none have arguably been as noteworthy or impactful as the sinister antagonist, Midas.
Introduced by Epic Games as part of Chapter 2 Season 2, Midas was included in the game as both an NPC boss and as a Tier 100 battle pass reward. Dubbed by developers as The Golden Ghost, this James Bond-like villain quickly became a popular figure within the Fortnite community because of his debonaire appearance and tragic backstory.
So with Epic Games now having launched the latest trailer ahead of the Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 release date, some fans are hoping that the next story arc brings back the fallen king after it was revealed that the next season would have a heist theme. Several posts have already been created by diehard fans on social media asking for his reappearance as one Twitter user said: “Midas has always been my favorite character. I would be so happy to see him return.”
One Redditor, on the other hand, appeared doubtful of the villain’s return as they asked the community: “Do you think Midas will return this time for real? Or [will it just be] another disappointment?” Most Fortnite players commenting under the thread shared the post creator’s skepticism as one responder noted: “I doubt it, the heist theme isn’t the same as secret agents,” while another said: “I [would] really like Midas to come back, but I don’t think so.”
With the Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 start time nearly here, however, you may not have to wait too long before you confirm his inclusion for yourself. While you wait for it to drop, though, check out our guides on the best monitor, the best gaming laptop, and the 6 best GPUs for Fortnite in 2023.
